Say farewell to one of the landmarks in video game history. Cyan Worlds, the creators of Myst, have closed their doors. The company was made famous when it used incredible pre-rendered graphics, moody audio, and brilliant puzzles to create a huge following in the game industry. The original Myst served as a crossover title that brought thousands of causal players into the more complex and beautiful world of the hardcore. Until The Sims took the crown, Myst was considered the best selling game of all time. Cyan Worlds was also one of the few companies dedicated to adventure games anymore, and we\'re sad to see them go. Best of luck, guys.

Nintendo has announced that it will delay the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess until no sooner than April 1st, 2006. Ranked after E3 2005 as the most anticipated game of the year, the delay is sure to disappoint a huge Nintendo demographic. The Nintendo team requested more time to improve the game before release.

Alan Wake was one of the standout games of E3 2005 (not to mention the dreamiest of male gaming characters).

Our gal, Monica, has the details here.

With huge battles involving thousands of enemy A.I. and a style that looks to target the Zelda-fan demographic, Kameo is one to watch. Check out our E3 2005 preview.

With quality competition from games like City of Heroes and World of Warcraft, all arriving in the last year to vie for our monthly subscription dollars, the makers of EverQuest have a much tougher battlefield before them than they did five years ago when the series first helped define the genre.
